Photographer Position (Contact
Us)
Photographers may either use their own
digital SLR camera (Canon or Nikon preferred) or use shop equipment. Since owning your
own equipment is not required, a working knowledge of digital SLR
cameras, lenses, and camera accessories such as external flash, and
a knowledge of both mac and pc computers is necessary. Please
keep in mind that we do not have the time to show you how a camera
works. Photographers must have at least intermediate ski or
snowboard ability and equipment. Position is seasonal and photographers
are expected to be able to work until mid to late April. Important
note: this job requires working on holidays and/or weekends
as needed.
On hill responsibilities include setting
up action and/or portrait shooting locations on-mountain at Snowbird
for 3-4 hours each morning and 1 hour in the afternoon. Photographers will be responsible
for shooting “powder shots” in fresh snow, action shots on groomed
runs, family portraits at the top of the Tram or Baldy Express,
and kids shots on Chickadee, the beginner hill. Shooting
locations change daily due to weather, ski/snowboard conditions
and regular schedule rotations. In addition, photographers
will be eligible to shoot “private sessions” in which clients book
photographers by the hour.
While shooting on the hill, photographers
are responsible for selling our services and outwardly engaging
clients in order to have their portraits and action photos taken. Since
Powdershots concentrates enhancing our clients skiing/boarding
experience, this position requires professionalism and enthusiasm
when dealing with families and vacationers and snowbird clients
in general.
In shop responsibilities include downloading,
editing and renaming images taken each day, using Adobe Photoshop, selling photos
to our clients, selling and promoting private photo sessions, and
general customer service in our shop. Hours selling in the
shop vary between 1 – 2 hours per day.
Photographers will receive the following compensation:
- Base Salary for shooting shift (3 hours of shooting per day
minimum),
- Commission on sales (10%),
- Private Session shoot salaries ($40.00/hour and $20.00 per
½ hour)
- Daily sales bonuses when applicable.
If you are enthusiastic, friendly, enjoy
digital photography, working in the mountains, and snow, then
this is a great opportunity to make good $ in a great environment!
